Friends don’t let friends Snap and drive — especially if they’re doing it for a cool filter. A Georgia man was trying to get the perfect Snapchat when he got caught by a cop with a radar gun.

He caught the attention of police when they saw him take off in his black Dodge Charger, blowing all other traffic away behind him.
Police pulled the car over and made contact with its driver, Neal. Police asked Neal if he knew how fast he was going and he said yes, according to the report. Neal told the officer he was going home after spending time with a friend. He then told the officer he was driving that fast ‘for Snapchat.’
He was charged with reckless driving, speeding and using wireless communications while driving. The reckless driving charge, alone, could come with a year sentence, a $1,000 fine, and a suspended license.
